Where You Are Planted

           I watch them fall, memories that remain only in me. "Leaves" in a tired soul falling from a worn tree, worn but sturdy still. I watch life change in the old "rings" of my trunk most know as a body. I see the days pass and the hard "seasons" of years fall dead in the present.

Slowly new memories sprout as "leaves" upon the days and moments I live, colorful and inspiring they remind me, (this aged tree of a life) to hope again...for where you are planted you can always start new with the days given you.

I saw, recognized it, and accepted fully, tooting the horn of "I see you, and I'll join in such welcoming time of play", allowing my inner child to "come out and play" for a while.
